Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

[thehass]

Did someone say now or never. Man, Love has 9yds on 7 carries.

Could be worse and have 7 yards on 9 carries.

The thing the blows me away is how much of a collapse of fundamentals we’ve had. Bielema was supposed to have fixed that. The floor was supposed to have been a lot higher.

I don’t follow things closely enough to break down why what we’re seeing is happening.

I just know after last year I thought this process was over. The process of watching fundamental football not happening enough.

Not one of the former Pac-12 teams this year are this slow or sloppy. Not one. Not even Cal. Who is at best a 3 win team.

This is no longer believable. This is some Iowa fan's simulation.

 

[Coop70]

The entire team top to bottom looks completely LOST!!

We're Illinois football and we can't be trusted

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I really can’t even fathom what is happening to this team.

Bret needs to clean house on the staff, and we need to hit the portal big time.

And lose the 45 year old punter.

 

[New Creation]

This has to be a joke.

 

[ChiIllini75]

This is getting interesting, I'm genuinely curious to see what new ways we can find to screw up. Fumbles, kickoff mistakes, lateral/backward offense. We're playing all the hits tonight!

 

[bjp84]

Offense and Special Teams are a train wreck…

 

[Illini in Italy]

When their QB runs the ball we ought to be targeting his freakin’ head.

 

[Ryllini]

Well, atleast some of the young cats on defense are getting plenty of reps.

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide

Bring on next week's game thread

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

I’m not sure this is any better than 0-63 vs Iowa when you consider the strength of the opponent here.

 

[Dkayak]

Love’s ankle was severely twisted.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Someone else said it earlier, but I honestly think the biggest difference between this year‘s defense and last year‘s defense is takeaways. We’ve had so many opportunities that we have not made the big plays.

 

[BWBW]

Wide left

 

[RDS]

Garbage product. Can’t even get decent snaps from center. Embarrassing. Absolutely embarrassing.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Geez, Nebraska sucks.

 

[Ryllini]

Seriously though, how bad is Nebraska?

 

[CDRUSN]

Is there any type of idiotic stupid miscue that you can possibly make on a football field that we have not pulled out of our repertoire yet? I'm stumped to come up with any.

 

[Coop70]

Deeper, deeper.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Seriously though, how bad is Nebraska?

13 points better than us at the moment.

 

[ORANGEANDBLUE2011]

We are getting the ball back….and I’m sadly not excited. They can just keep it if they want.

 

[PassingBy]

We will win
